Yeah, well, great Dutch actor, Rutger Hauer, presumably after eating a solid kilo of salted licorice, spun that jam off the top of his head, and here we are Ernest Clining the master himself. We're both monsters, stu

Gore Verbinski was attached to the Bioshock movie so that's super interesting. Baby Driver is an interesting movie to compare with Ant-Man in this regard, and Del Toro has been injecting his movies with the DNA of failed projects

There was a Bioshock movie? And I assume it's been cancelled, or still in dev Hell? Aw... and Ant-Man was actually pretty fun without Wright's direction, but I can only imagine that's because of his contributions to it that Marvel kept, and whatever Yesman they replaced him with just trying to bite his style anyway; I can't imagine how much better it would've been if Disney had just kept him on, and let him do with it what he wanted.

Yes, you can tell Verbinski salvaged some of his Bioshock adaptation for that movie. If you watch (especially twice or even three times and then also watch Tron Legacy) you'll notice there's a lot of bioshocky stuff going on.

I particularly remember his running gag of listing how many minutes the movie had left in its running time at whatever point he was on, which started off as accurate, but then increased steadily as he went to an absurd amount, haha...

I really want to play PUBG just to see what the deal is, but my Nvideo Gaming Rig will explode if I try to play a game made after 2014.

Unreal 4 is a very efficient engine, the development software needs a lot of power. The game is a good blueprint for modern game mechanics, it's very "new" and clean in doing so. I'm impressed by how easily they let you switch up between building and combat where building is a viable combat mechanic (building walls and whatnot when peeps start shooting at you)

Thanks, Trump

So we shall flow a river forth to Thee and teeming with souls shall it ever be.

Unity and the UNREAL ENGINE have video tutorials explaining how they work. They're quite overwhelming. I'm bailing on this again and going to focus on screenplays and finding Steve, or whatever that guy's name was.
